Iranian Government Cuts Off Internet Access Again

AlbionTourgee writes "It is reported that Gmail and Yahoo mail at least have been blocked in Iran, along with many English-language sites. While news of demonstrations seems to be getting out of the country, the government appears to be trying to prevent people within Iran from communicating and from learning what's happening. It remains to be seen whether TOR and Freenets can be effective to combat this sort of effort to block communications, and whether the general circulation of information about the protests around the world will help."

    Don't worry, things labeled nukem have a habit of never getting finished.

    Sadly, no. I was raised Jewish, but I was never let in on this supposed conspiracy.

    You just need to write to Chief Bloomenbergansteinenthal of the Jewish Justice League in NYC. That or make aliyah to Israel. Everyone here just gets welfare checks from the proceeds of the Zionist media conspiracy (remember, it's "Zionist" now instead of "Jewish") to make a living! After all, what else can be done with nothing powering the economy but agriculture, tourism, and hi-tech?
